The Weekly Florists' Review. 



January 26, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Hajrwards, Cal. — Ernest Lundgren, a 

 practical gardener, has purchased some 

 land here and intends to start a vege- 

 table garden and nursery. 



Bellingham, Wash. — The residence 

 and greenhouse of Stuart Wile, at 2427 

 Kulshan street, were burned to the 

 ground January 12, Mr. and Mrs. Wile 

 were in Vancouver at the time. 



Milwaukee, Ore. — George Echter, un- 

 til recently employed as a gardener in 

 the nurseries of A. M. Le Grand, is now 

 engaging in business for himself. He 

 is planning to build a good sized green- 

 house in the spring. 



Oakland, Cal. — Charles Fitz & Co. 

 have opened a flower store on Clare- 

 mont avenue, near College, and are 

 building up a good trade. They are 

 also erecting two greenhouses on Dana 

 street, near Alcatraz avenue. 



Boseburg, Ore. — The Fern Island 

 Fruit Farm and Greenhouses are con- 

 ducted by F. D. Owen and wife. .Mr. 

 Owen is the orchardist and Mrs. Owen 

 the florist. Business has been so good 

 in the cut flower and plant department 

 that more glass will be erected. 



Everett, Wash. — J. L. Kreider has 

 purchased land here and will move his 

 greenhouse establishment from Gold 

 Bar. He expects to grow cut flowers, 

 plants and vegetables. A full line of 

 nursery stock will be carried, special- 

 izing on roses, bulbs and ornamental 

 stock. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



We have been treated to almost an 

 entire week of rain, and no one can 

 say at the present writing that central 

 and southern California have been 

 overlooked by the clerk of the weather. 

 Everything was unusually dry, how- 

 ever, before these latest showers, and 

 much satisfaction is felt on the out- 

 come. While it interferes in a measure 

 with the local everyday trade, the net 

 results will revert tremendously to the 

 benefit of all. 



Flowers of all kinds are plentiful 

 and for the season are quite cheap. 

 During the last week there has been 

 only a limited demand for anything in 

 the blossom line, and both wholesalers 

 and retailers have had some trouble to 

 keep stocks, moving. Carnations are 

 good and cheap, and roses are daily 

 becoming more plentiful and of better 

 quality and substance. There is a sur- 

 plus of violets, as might be expected, 

 and bulbous stock is rapidly becoming 

 a factor. 



Funeral work and funeral flowers 

 have kept not a few of the retailers 

 busy, and with the return of pleasant 

 weather we may expect an early re- 

 sumption of our normal season's busi- 

 ness. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Eeinhold, the Petaluma florist, 

 is in town in the quest of stock with 

 which to fill heavy spring orders. 



Geo. May, of the May Seed Co., who 

 has been on the sick list for three 

 weeks, is back in the store again.

The Market. 



Business has been unusually quiet. 

 Funeral work constitutes the major 

 part of the demand, for socially little 

 is stirring. Still, there is no oversupply 

 of stock on the market. Carnations 

 are the principal commodity. Tulips, 

 jonquils and freesia have put in their 

 annual appearance, a harbinger of 

 spring. The snow was followed by a 

 heavy rainfall, over six inches in 

 twenty-four hours, which has greatly 

 hampered the shipping trade. Scarcely
